General Comments:

I love my Chevy Silverado. It is so comfortable and is by far the best vehicle I have ever owned. It has awesome horsepower, and has never disappointed me.

It is great to drive off road and in the city. It's just the right size. I never want to go back to driving a small car again.

1997 is definitely one of Chevrolet's best years. It's design is unique and attractive. This is one truck that demands attention. It is awesome for both winter and summer driving. In the cold it heats up in under 5 minutes, and during the summer the A/C is instant.

I would recommend the 97 Chevy Silverado to anyone looking for a tough reliable truck.

I also own a 1997 Z71 with a 5.7L Vortec and have had the exact same problems you have. There was recall on the windshield wipers which I didn't receive until AFTER I replaced the circuit board. I was lucky enough to get 171K miles on my transmission before I had it rebuilt. My truck now has over 179K miles and only needs a set of rear springs which I plan on replacing soon. I haven't figured out what causes the steering wheel to pull quickly like that yet and neither has my mechanic (unsolved mystery). It truly is the BEST vehicle I have ever owned and that includes Mustangs, BMW's, and Mercedes. Mike.
